A compact village in the Pas-de-Calais south of Calais, Licques is known across the region for its turkey and poultry production. The village sits in the valley of the Hem river within the Parc naturel régional des Caps et Marais d'Opale, and the former abbey of Notre-Dame de Licques — a listed historic monument — anchors its centre. Several churches serve a settlement of its size, and the wider region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites.
